Showcasing at LCV CENEX

MOVE_UK was one of several projects featured on the Meridian CAV showcase at LCV CENEX (The UK's premier Low Carbon and Future Vehicle technology event). MOVE_UK first attended LCV CENEX in 2016 to highlight the project's scope and its intention to accelerate the development of automated driving systems. Since this first visit a lot has changed both within our project and also outside it.  One such change is the presence of a much larger number of CAV projects at LCV Cenex, which this year were centred around the Meridian CAV showcase.  MOVE_UK was prominently placed on this showcase which highlighted the developments in CAV in the UK. During the event the MOVE_UK team where highly active; involvements included:

A Busy MOVE_UK presentation stand

• A busy MOVE_UK stand showcasing data gathered from the project. This included the first public showing of new 360 degree radar visibility surrounding the test vehicles. Also highlighted, were further examples of captured data and videos which demonstrated the value of the techniques used in MOVE_UK in addressing the problem of verifying and validating autonomous driving technologies. 
  

• One of the MOVE_UK vehicles was also in prime position at the event showcasing how it gathers data from its sensors and records relevant events using the data gathering platform developed during the project.  This helped to explain to the wide attendees the need for connected validation to develop CAV technologies.  This backdrop was also used by an international trade delegation to showcase leading UK activity in the sector which was filmed by UK broadcaster Channel4. Images highlight parts of the car data recording and sensor technology and the film crew around the vehicle and discussion area.

Phase 3 - surround vehicle sensors

• A talk highlighting the aspects of insurance and autonomous vehicles in relation to new UK legislation "Making sense of the Automated and Electric Vehicle Act". This talk was presented by Dan Freedman from project partner, Direct Line Group

• A talk highlighting how MOVE_UK explores aspects of insurance risk changes with new vehicle technologies "Understanding the insurance risk of future vehicles"​. This talk was presented by Dr Sam Chapman from project partner, The Floow Limited.
  

Overall the LCV CENEX event showed how far UK CAV technologies have come in a short space of time. MOVE_UK is very proud to be a central part of these growing developments. ​
